Our goal at Collin County Sprinkler is to provide our customers with a high quality custom designed irrigation system at a fair price. We are a full service irrigation company in Plano, McKinney, Frisco, Allen, Lewisville, and surrounding areas of Dallas, TX. We offer repair services (for systems that we installed) residential and commercial installations, as well as drainage systems. We provide an industry leading three year warranty on materials and labor for all of our residential installations. Therefore, we use only the very best products and equipment. With a few exceptions, all the major irrigation manufacturers make both a good product and a lesser quality cheap product. So it is difficult to make a purchase decision based on a particular brand or another. The difference between a good sprinkler system and a poor one is the contractor that designs and installs it. Unlike many of our competitors, we do not enlist high pressure sales tactics in order to sell you an irrigation system. We simply provide you with our best price up front and on a timely basis. We do not require meeting with you in order to give you a bid. However, we will be glad to meet you at your request. Referral lists are also available upon request. Additional email: [email protected].

"I would give them 0 stars if I could. In September, 2023, I had Collin County Sprinkler put in a drip line around my house to water the foundation. Also I had just planted a new tree in my back yard just 4 days earlier. I asked them to run irrigation to the new tree. I noticed after the crew left that they had removed one of the bubbler heads from a tree about 15 feet away, installed a T fitting from the first tree and attached supply line tubing to the new tree then attached the bubblers. Soon after, I noticed that the tree wasn’t setting watered properly. Another person showed up and told me that the bubblers were not adjusted properly. The adjusted them and it seemed to make it better at the time. Since the trees water before I wake up, I had not noticed the my new tree was not being watered properly, so when my grand sons come over, I had them to remove the bubbler heads from all 3 trees on the zone to see how far the water would shoot up in the air at each of the 3 trees. I was surprised that water was barely bubbling from one opening only. The other openings you could see water in the riser only. I called Collin County and was informed that it would be two weeks before anyone would be at my house. The finally came and was very punctually. After looking at the trees and taking off one head in the two tree rings that were in close proximity. After turning the water on, he said, the only way to fix this is to install a new zone to the tree that was installed last year and informed me that it would cost an additional $650 to have that done. The tech called Steve, the owner of the sprinkler company and was told by him that I was asked at the time if I wanted to put in a new zone and I turned it down. I WAS NEVER GIVEN THAT OPTION! The owner insisted that they did. How would he know for sure, he wasn’t the one that was here. I proceeded to ask the tech to have Steve call me to discuss the problem. Later in the day, a different person called to discuss the matter. All he did was parrot what Steve had told the tech earlier. I told him that apparently Steve didn’t have the balls to call a customer that wasn’t satisfied with the companies work, so he made him do it. So much for them guaranteeing their work. I think I read one reviewer say they guaranteed their work for 3 years. I think that is a little long. I had them install it, complained about the low pressure within the first month, complained about it again when they came out on April 2 to do a spring tune up and then come out on July 16th. On top of that I was charged ”a reduce rate” of $50 for a service call to look at a problem that they created. I would have thought if their techs were proficient in their trade, the would have mentioned that the tree needed a new zone— not only upon install, bit the other two times they were here instead of adjusting the bubbler heads and calling it fixed. If ir wasn’t going to work properly, they had 3 opportunities to tell me before I was finally told. I know this has been a long review and I chose them because of the large amount of 5 star reviews they have. However, if you use them, you do carry the chance of being the next one star reviewer. Save yourself the frustration and find a different sprinkler company for your irrigation needs."

Select Landscaping is proud to provide full service landscape & drainage installation with experience in North Texas since 2014. We treat every project as if it was our own with the standard that we would be able to showcase and enjoy with friends and family for years to come.

"We wanted to give the outside of our 39-year-old house an updated look. We had 4 35-year-old oak trees and overgrown shrubs pretty much hiding the front of the house. We used Angi’s List to find Select Landscaping. Derek came out to look at our current landscaping and made suggestions on what we should change. We removed 3 of the 4 trees, removed all of the shrubs added an irrigation system and completely sodded the front and back yard. New flower beds were added to the front and back yard with attractive stone edging. Stone edging was added to the property line on both sides of the front yard to give our new lawn a defined look along with helping to prevent weeds from growing in our yard from our neighbors’ yards. Derek’s selection of shrubs and annual plants really enhanced the look of our house. Derek also worked with a Lighting contractor to install landscape lighting in the front yard. Derek suggested added steppingstones and landscape rock to cover an area next to the driveway where our trash cans sit. We also added a underground drainage system to redirect rainwater from our roof downspouts to a pop-up drain release closer to the street which has greatly minimized erosion in the yard. Working with a single contractor has made this major landscaping update very easy. Derek would bring the sub-contractors as we worked out details of each phase of the update. The only negative comment we have is the Irrigation contractor did poor work and then filed for bankruptcy when they “finished” our project. Overall, I would recommend Select Landscaping and Derek for your landscaping updates. He has been able to handle our project which I would consider large with no issues."

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

Lawn aeration costs between $75 and $350 on average, depending on the size of the lawn, aeration type, slope of the lawn, soil type, lawn prep, and location. Keep in mind that it costs an average of $0.10 to $0.35 per square foot to aerate a lawn that’s less than 1,000 square feet. Different types of lawn aeration include: 

  • Spike aeration: $85

  • Core aeration: $200

  • Liquid aeration: $75

Enhanced root development, better fertilizer uptake, and improved drought resistance.

To prepare your lawn for core aeration, water it the day before you aerate. (Alternatively, you can wait until it rains and aerate the following day.) Aerating after watering or a rainy day will make the process easier since you can penetrate moist soil better than dry soil. You should also flag your sprinklers so that you don’t accidentally hit them while aerating. If you have a lot of thatch buildup in your yard, you might need to dethatch your lawn before aerating as well.

It’s a good idea to aerate your lawn in the fall or spring when there is plenty of moisture in the soil. If you plan to aerate twice annually, you can do so once in the fall and once in the spring. You don’t want to aerate when your grass is dormant, and you also don’t want to aerate directly after a big rain, as the soil will be too wet for the aeration to be effective.

The frequency of lawn aeration depends on factors such as soil type, yard traffic, and lawn health. In most cases, annual aeration is sufficient to maintain a healthy lawn. However, if your lawn experiences heavy use or soil compaction issues, you may consider aerating twice a year. Keep an eye on your grass and soil conditions to determine when aeration is needed to keep your lawn in its best shape.
